VENTILA'IOR.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 24, 1920.

Application filed December 30, 1919. Serial Ito. 348,276.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE citizen of the United States, residing at Belmar, in the county of Monmouth and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Ventilator, of which the following-1's a'specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in ventilators and it is the primary object of the invention to provide a device to be attached to the frame of a window for directing air into a room.

A further object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which may be adjusted to assume positions at either side of the window frame thus enabling the device to efficiently direct air into the room, regardless of the direction of travel of the air.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a means which may be readily and easily applied to the ordinary window frames, now in use without the necessity of reconstructing or changing the formation of the window frame, in any manner.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Referring to the drawing Figure 1 illustrates a perspective view showing the device constructed in accordance with the present invention, as applied,

Fig. 2 is a front elevational view of the device, and

Fig. 3 is a plan view of the same.

Referring to the drawing in detail, the device is shown as applied to the window frame of the usual construction, and includes a relatively long body portion 5, and right angled end sections 6 and 7, the body portion 5 being formed of any suitable sheet metal, so that the ends thereof may be.

formed integrally with the body by bending the ends as indicated.

Each of these end sections is substantially triangular in plan, and is provided with an opening 8 extending therethrough the same L. Broom, a

being formed adjacent the free ends of the end sections and are of a diameter to accommodate the supporting rod 9, the connection between the supporting rod and right angled end sections 6 and 7 being such as to permit free pivotal movement of the body portion with relation to the supporting rod 9, to permit adjustment of the body portion 5 with relation to the window frame to which the device is secured.

A flange 10 is stamped from the body 5, the same being preferably triangular in formation, the lower straight edge 11 thereof being shown as contacting with the inner surface of the end section 7 From the foregoing it is obvious that the flange 10 braces the body portion 5 to prevent vibration of the body portion 5 to eliminate any possibility of the air or wind contacting with the body 5 causing the body 5 to rattle and become objectionable.

Disposed within the body 5 adjacent the lower end thereof, are the openings 12 which are formed at opposite sides of the body 5 and provide means to receive the pivoted members 13 secured to the inner side of the frame, so that the body 5 may be secured in its positions of adjustment.

The supporting rod 9 isshown as applied to the window frame 14., the same extending the entire length of the window frame 14 and is disposed intermediate the width thereof, thus providing means for supporting the body 5 at an angle with relation to theside walls of the frame 14 to direct air, passing through the window frame inwardly toward the interior of the room of which the window frame forms a part.

If the wind or air takes a path of travel in the opposite direction to that in which the body 5 acts as a scoop, it is only necessary to reverse the body 5, to cause the open portion thereof to lie in the opposite direction.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is v 1. In combination with a window frame, a ventilating device including a relatively long body portion, right angled ends formed integral with the body portion and having apertures, a supporting rod having connection with the window frame, said supporting rod adapted to be engaged by the wall: of the apertures, for permitting the body portion to move with relation to the frame,

and means for securing the body portion against movement.

2. In combination with a window frame, a ventilator including a body portion, end sections forming a part of the body portion, a supporting rod disposed intermediate the width of the frame and having connection therewith, said supporting rod adapted to engage the end sections, for pro- 10 viding a pivot for the ventilator, and means for securing the ventilator against movement.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto afiixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
